About the Authors

Jon Bergmann is a teacher who used to love being the center of the classroom. But he gave it up when he saw how engaged his students became in the learning process when he began flipping his instruction. Flipped learning allowed him to know his students better which brought him back to the reason he became a teacher in the first place. He is considered one of pioneers of the flipped learning movement and now shares his passion for learner-centered classrooms with educators around the globe. He is currently chief learning officer of TurnAbout Learning. He received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching in 2002, and was named a semi-finalist for Colorado Teacher of the Year in 2010. Jon serves on the advisory board of TED Education, and hosts The Flip Side, a radio show which tells the stories of Flipped educators. Additionally, he is a founding board member and the treasurer of the Flipped Learning Network, the only not-for-profit organization run by and for flipped educators.

Aaron Sams has been an educator since 2000. He received the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching in 2009 and co-chaired the committee to revise the Colorado Science Academic Standards. He is a founding member of the Flipped Learning Network, adjunct instructor at Saint Vincent College, director of digital learning at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary, advisor to TED-Ed, and as taught chemistry in California and Colorado. Aaron holds a BS in Biochemistry and an MAEd, both from Biola University.
